To the editor:
I agree 100 percent with Susan McNabb’s letter concerning the farmers’ market in Columbus. I visited the market a few weeks ago and was also advised that dogs were no longer allowed due to health regulations.
I was advised that a dog had urinated on fresh produce. I was amazed that produce would be displayed on the ground and not on tables.
Whilst walking around the venders, I noticed children running around and picking up produce and putting it back. That to me is not a healthy situation.
The farmers market used to be a family-oriented outing which we all enjoyed and so did our four-legged “kids.” It never ceases to amaze me that dogs are so often discriminated against.
As we all know we depend on their services for many reasons, on a daily basis and we should respect  and accommodate them as much as possible. I, for one, will no longer support the farmers market in Columbus.
